You are discussing the belts...my car just reached 88888km today...checked the belts just over the weekend, visually they look fine...but would you experts recommend changing even if they look fine?

If the belts are not hard enough, and cracks are not visible in them then they don't require replacement. However as JDK11 mentioned, you can have the pulleys inspected. Best is to get the inpstection done from a reputed 3s in your area. In my opinion if the belts haven't been changed uptill now, a proper inspection should atleast be done.
